Quill has recently launched a new diagnostic tool and sentence combining curriculum! Quill’s new diagnostic covers basic sentence structure skills such as correcting fragments, creating compound sentences, and writing with parallel structure. Once students have completed the diagnostic, Quill will automatically create an individualized learning plan for each student. The learning plan recommends up to ten hours of instruction.

In the new sentence combining curriculum, students join kernel sentences together to form complex sentences. Quill then instantly serves targeted feedback based on the response, and students continually revise their work until they produce a strong sentence. This feedback loop helps students quickly build their writing skills.'
